Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or tree:
“Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“On a tree by a river a little tom-tit Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing, “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!””
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
